Great things: Captain Larry’s Inshore boat excursion that leaves from the Hampton Inn dock. More on that later. The beach and tiki hut - it’s a great little beach and manatees swam right by you! Tiki hut has drinks from 3-8. Very convenient and fun. Pool is very nice and very clean. Fitness center was well-equipped and clean. The walk in shower in our room was the best part of the room. Lots of hot water too. Sub-Par for a Hampton: Hotel is very old and lobby furniture needs to be cleaned or replaced. Our room was not clean when we checked in. No bugs but we had to wipe the floor (sticky spills by the mini fridge). Thick dust on the fan blades so we wouldn’t turn the fan on. A/C is old unit. When it comes on it blows ice air right on your head at night. We rigged the ironing board and a towel as a deflector. Hotel should get a deflector installed - it’s easy. Hotel is dog friendly but people are not thoughtful and let their little fur babies bark and yip at all hours. This is more of a people problem than a hotel one. Same with smoking. I’ve never seen so many smokers. We were trying to enjoy our pool view balcony that we paid more for but we had a chain smoker under us and a cigar smoker who thought the pool area was just for him. It’s a people issue but the hotel does not enforce any smoking area policy. Our hallway truly smelled old and mildewy. So did our room. And the cleaning solution they use is very strong and smells awful. The whole place needs to be deep cleaned, aired out, painted and refreshed. Now back to Capt Larry’s boat ride. He wanted his review to be with the Hampton Inn’s review but if I was separating them he would get 5+ stars! We truly enjoyed the time we spent with him on his boat touring around the area and see manatees and dolphins and birds. He gave us some history and had lots of stories about the keys. We did the morning trip and had a great time. I highly recommend spending a few hours on the beautiful water with Larry!…
I cannot say enough about the KINDNESS of the EMPLOYEES here. Every single employee that we encountered was wonderful, personable and thoughtful. The grounds were being groomed constantly by a wonderful gentleman. We asked for an extra blanket and received it within minutes. The folks at the reception desk were so pleasant. The tiki bartenders were cheerful. The facility was excellent. They disinfected constantly. When it rained they swept the sidewalks. The beach area was amazing with beautiful sunsets daily and wildlife all around. But what set this stay apart was THE PEOPLE who worked there who made everything better. We appreciate all of you!!
Perfect location right on the bay … for sunsets, swimming and happy hour. Been staying at this location for 30 years! Special shout out to Erta and the other front desk crew for the good service and warm welcome. Rooms are clean and comfortable.
The hotel is greatly outdated. Way understaffed , to the point no one seemed there but just guests looking for employees. Take your money somewhere else ..unless you like self serve... The so call bar by the pool...outdated..oh yes..no bartender..no employees anywhere..must be a Keys thing.
Hampton Inn was all I could ask for and more! The resort is beautiful, calm, with a pool and a tropical private beach. The rooms were aesthetic, clean and comfortable. The staff, Atra he receptionist, Steven the bartender and the whole team were so attentive and helpful! If you are there do not miss out a trip will Captain Larry, who's boat docks at the resort. He took me and other guests for a 2.5 hours of magical cruise, Larry is the perfect host with his knowledge about Key Largo, jokes and ability to create a truly unforgettable experience. He is also the Manatees & dolphins whisperer :) I hope to come again, and highly recommend the place!
The location of this Hampton is incredible and the amenities are very nice. However, what really stands out is the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. They were constantly checking to make sure we had everything that we needed and when we requested something it was always delivered promptly. This was my first trip to the Keys and I was amazed how easy it was to get to all the great restaurants and sights.
The front desk people are wonderful! So nice and helpful. The staff is always working on the building, it’s an older building but they work daily to keep it up. Pool was fabulous and sunsets are beautiful. Great restaurants nearby also.
What made this a great stop were the people. It is a traditional Hampton Inn (room design is more updated). The location is great for watching the sunset and relaxing. The beach is man-made and small, but can enter the water from it. The pool is small but clean and right next to Tikka bar. Breakfast was traditional Hampton Inn except had Great fresh fruit salad every morning. It was restocked often and was 6-10 every day. Plenty of restaurants near by and a Publix less then a mile. There is laundry and a nice workout area. The staff was excellent. Every person we met was friendly, helpful and seemed to care about what they were doing. Could not have asked for more.
This hotel, while older, is updated, clean and a great place to stay while in the keys. Gorgeously surrounded by local Florida plant life, the back of the hotel has a beautiful private beach, tiki bar and a heated pool. This hotel has some age to it, but it’s been renovated and feels newer. I can’t say enough great things about the hotel staff at the FD and how welcoming they were! A trio of ladies welcomed up and gave us some great information about the local area. Love this location, close to state parks or like we did, a great place to rest for the night on our way down to Key West!
Room was perfect, spacious and beautifully decorated. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Christine gave us great suggestions at checking in. Great boat tour available from the doc on the property. Small but we'll maintained beach area and great location for a day trip to Key West. Nice restaurants and facilities nearby.
